Abstract: A novel advanced set top terminal capable of digital decompression, menu generation, interactivity and other advanced functional capabilities for use in a television program delivery system (200) is described. The invention relates to methods and apparatus for upgrading existing set top terminals (220) to provide menu generation capability and advanced functional capabilities. The invention is particularly useful in television program delivery systems (200) with hundreds of channels of programming, providing (i) menu driven program selection through the addition of an upgrade module (300) or menu generation card and (ii) advanced functional capabilities using a set of hardware upgrades (e.g., 130) and/or an expansion card. Specifically, the invention is an upgradeable system that supports advanced set top functionality through the use of internal software, hardware upgrades, an upgrade module and/or expansion cards. The upgraded hardware generally includes a microprocessor, various input/output ports (e.g., 308), processing circuitry (e.g., 108) and memory (e.g., 116). The invention results in an upgraded set top terminal that supports: menu generation; picture-on-picture displays; program catalogue services; interactive services; telephone caller identification; digital audio reception; VCR control; HDTV reception; and backyard satellite system interoperability, among other features and capabilities.
Patent CA-2411569-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MANTLE ROSS E
IPC: A61M1/36
Filed: 2002-11-12
Abstract: A device for the prevention or treatment of a variety of disorders by means of automated local control of temperature and pressure in a body cavity.  Appropriate body cavities are enclosed spaces containing organs in which biocompatible fluids excluding blood may be recirculated outside of blood vessels but inside the cavity (eg. subarachnoid space, peritoneum, mediastinum, pleural space). Fluid is pumped into the cavity by means of one pump and removed from it by means a second pump via a double-barreled catheter, with an optional secondary catheter for enhancement of the fluid distribution. A temperature and pressure sensor are mounted on the main catheter within the cavity. While outside the body, the fluid is ultraviolet-sterilized, foam fractionated to remove contaminants, oxygenated and pH balanced, cooled or warmed, and augmented with exogenous fluid that may contain drugs. Independent automated pump control allows adjustment of outflow based on cavity temperature and inflow based on cavity pressure. Pre-programmed temperature and pressure profiles can be executed over several days.

Title: Process for making a foam component
Inventor: DUFTON DANIEL JAMES
IPC: A61K8/00
Filed: 2001-09-07
Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for making air stable, water-reactive foam components comprising polymeric material and an active ingredient and preferably a liquid, which are to be delivered to aqueous environment, using the step of submitting a viscous mixture of the ingredients, having a specific viscosity and/ or being intensively mixed, to pressure, typically by using an extrusion process, and whereby a gas is introduced in this mixture. The process is typically such that only small amount of liquid are required and only limited drying is needed to remove the liquid to obtain the components. Typically additional gas is injected in the process (in addition to gas of mixing) to improve foaming. The invention also provides components obtained by such a process.

Inventor: CROSBIE B DAVID
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2001-10-22
Abstract: A wireless local area network (WLAN) (36) includes mobile devices (26) that are allowed to transfer wireless connections between WLAN subnets or channels having different access points (24). The access points connect to a central controller or roaming server (22) that supports seamless hand-offs of mobile devices from one access point to another access point. The roaming server supports the reassignments of session data parameters from one access point to another (e.g., access point address spoofing) so that the mobile device can use the same parameters for comminicating to a new access point. The roaming server also supports the seamless handoff of a mobile device from one access point to another by using a master-slave switch technique across two piconets.  The roaming server also facilitates the control of access points by establishing a host controller interface and wireless protocol stack in the roaming server then encapsulates host controller commands in a packet based network protocol used for communication between the roaming server and the access points.
